Usage: The verb פָגַשׁ (pagash) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of coming into contact with someone or something, often implying a meeting or encounter. It can denote both intentional and unintentional meetings.

Context: • The Hebrew verb פָגַשׁ (pagash) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often describing encounters between individuals or groups. It can imply a range of interactions, from friendly meetings to confrontations.
• In Genesis 32:1, Jacob encounters angels of God, illustrating a divine meeting: "Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him."
• In Exodus 4:24, the term is used in a more ominous context when the LORD meets Moses: "Now at a lodging place along the way, the LORD met Moses and was about to kill him."
• The word can also describe encounters in battle or conflict, as seen in 1 Samuel 10:5, where Saul is told he will meet a group of prophets: "After that you will go to Gibeah of God, where there is a Philistine outpost. As you approach the town, you will meet a procession of prophets coming down from the high place with lyres, tambourines, flutes, and harps being played before them, and they will be prophesying."
• The verb is versatile, capturing both the physical act of meeting and the broader implications of such encounters, whether they are peaceful, divine, or confrontational.
